[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my (limited) experience, OP, you have to rip off the Band-aid and give her a chance. I did this with my dog and after a few hiccups, she has free rein in the house, and everyone is happier.[/quote]

I’m going to have to disagree with this. The first time we left our dog home alone he ripped a coffee table book that he never had expressed any interest in to shreds. The next time, he tore open a piece of leather furniture. This is a dog who is perfectly happy to be home alone in his crate.[/quote]

OmY, but most dogs aren’t like this. Most dogs are sentient beings that want to be part of the family in every way and they understand not to destroy the house.
Does your dog still do this? My dog did a few goofy things her first year (no crate ever) but nothing destructive for years 1.1 - 16. [/quote

Well, we stopped the home alone experiments after the leather fiasco. And that was when he was contained to only the living room! I should probably mention that he is 10 months old.[/quote]
